Freda Warrington wrote about the role of art in her three Aetherial Tales books and why she thinks art keeps coming up in her work. (There is also a giveaway for her latest book, Grail of the Summer Stars, with her guest post. I am reading it now and it is wonderful!)

Seanan McGuire discussed the hurdles geeky girls face and the fact that “Girls read and write science fiction and fantasy and horror and splatterpunk and cyberpunk and steampunk and everything else in the universe. Girls dream just as big as boys do. Dreams have no gender. Dreams are for everybody.”

Amanda Carlson talked about sex in urban fantasy and asked for thoughts on the subject. (There is also a giveaway for both her Jessica McClain novels, Full Blooded and Hot Blooded, with her guest post.)
